From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR Zoid 1 is a comfortable solo shelter with a vestibule easily converted to an awning. This ultralight tent offers more space than most, with room for one to sit up and plenty of usable floor space. The 2-point pitch setup is quick and easy. The Zoid 1 fits a full-length Therm-a-Rest. Weighing in at just over two pounds, the Zoid 1 is an ultralight solo packer's dream. Excellent ventilation is provided by MSR's Catenary Cut, and bathtub floors keep unwanted moisture outside where it belongs. For even less weight, combine the fly, poles, and footprint to create a minimalist shelter."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of MSR Zoid 1 TentA functional, lightweight option for those who beleive in simplicity, the Zoid 1 Tent maximizes the use of its space so that every component fits together logically. Though interior space is 16.3 square feet, MSR designed the interior of the Zoid 1 Tent with you in mind: a sleeping pad, some gear, and enough headspace to sit up and fit comfortably, with the door on the side, which does make a big difference when entering the tent. A full-coverage, seam-taped vestibule is, comparatively speaking, quite large and can be configured four ways to adjust to weather conditions and your gear. DAC Featherlite poles provide a stable frame and keep off weight, and at less than three pounds that's alot to ask of a tent that doesn't weigh very much to begin with. A polyester rainfly and extensive use of Micromesh (and a peak vent with kickstand support) provide excellent ventilation, as well as making an incredibly durable, stable tent with UV ray resistance"

"I spent a summer up in Minnesota a few years ago and brought along my Zoid... needless to say easy setup and great protection form wind and rain. Compared to other tents I've owned this one's top notch."

"The more I use other tents, the more I love my MSR Zoid 1. Easy setup in most conditions, lightweight, and plenty of room once in the tent (I am 6,0). This is a great ultralight tent. Never had condensation problems with it, plenty of venting options.

Comes with repair kit."

"I bought an MSR Zoid 1 in early 2004, and after spending 10 nights in it so far -- from balmy to seriously stormy -- I can report that the MSR Zoid 1 is one sweet ultralight tent. I’m 6’2ā€ and 180 pounds and I fit into it with a little room to spare."

"1 stake at each end, 2 poles, 3 snap-release buckles and a stake for the fly. Done! Nothing could be quicker, easier, or lighter. I've used a bivy sack in cold, wet weather. Hate it! The Zoid offers flexible ventilation, head room, usable covered storage and it's solid as hell."

"I bought this tent for my 13-year-old daughter for backpacking. She finds the space adequate and somehow manages to sleep in the tent with her external frame backpack stored inside, though she is a small 5' 1".

We had a big rain one night while out on the trail, but she slept through it and nothing of hers got wet."
